Genetic basis for queen-worker dimorphism in a social insect.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 30 Apr 2002

Volny Veronica P, Gordon Deborah M

Abstract excerpt

Eusocial insects are characterized by reproductive division of labor, cooperative brood care, and the presence of a sterile worker caste. It is generally accepted that caste determination, including the differentiation of females into sterile workers and reproductive queens, is determined by envi...
